PROCEDURE FOR APPLYING FOR A VISITING PERMIT

The Visiting Permit is issued to foreign / private visitors who intend to ordinarily visit Zambia for a period exceeding ninety days. The current regulation is that ordinary visitors are entitled to an accumulative ninety (90) days visit within one’s calendar year. After the expiry of the initial free ninety days, if such a person wants to stay longer, they can apply for a visiting permit for a fee which will be valid for an additional ninety day period. Visitors should note that an application for a visiting permit must be done thirty (30) days before the expiry of the initial ninety days.
